[Pkg-sogo-maintainers] Bug#854541: sogo: please make the build reproducible (username, hostname, timestamps)

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that sogo could not be built reproducibly, because it embeds the value
of $(CFLAGS), which varies due to -fdebug-prefix-map (added by the
reproducibility infrastructure) and -DSOGO_BUILD_DATE.

The attached patch removes -DSOGO_BUILD_DATE from $(CFLAGS), which
should make the package reproducible in the future, once we fix the
-fdebug-prefix-map issue globally on our end.  As a side effect, it will
also ensure that if upstream adds references to SOGO_BUILD_DATE, the
build will fail until they are removed, in line with the original intent
of the 0005 patch.

Cheers,

Daniel
